Enjoy Life.

What a truly beautiful world we live in!
Nature gives us grandeur of mountains,
glens and oceans, and thousands of means
of enjoyment. We can desire no better
when in perfect health, but how often do
the majority of people feel like giving up
disheartened, discouraged and worn out
with disease, when there is no occasion for
this feeling as every sufferer can easily OBJ
tain satisfactory proof, that Green's August
FIo,Cer, will make them free from disease as
when born. Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint
are the direct causes of seyenty.fiYe per
cent of such maladieS as Biliousness, Indi-
gestion, Sick Headache, Costiveness, Ner-
yous Prostration, Dizziness of the Head,
Palpitation of the Heart, and other dis
tressing symptoms. Three doses of Aagus
Fl0wer will prove its wonderful effect.

all the products of every kind which
the producers and shippers in our Sec
tion have to dispose of. The burden
Of excessive railroad charges ever since
they have come among us have been too
grievous to be borne longer, while the
producers of the West and of the
country have been struggling and lab
oring almost day and night in order to
secure fair competence. The facts
are that in very many cases the mort
cages on our homes and farms have
grown until there is not mere than a
mere living left to us, while the rail.
road corporations in their greed in un-
reasonable and unlawful charges and
exactions have grown richer and more
merciless than ever. We feel and be.
ieve that now through the Inter State
law the time has come when by united
effort on our part we may be able to
some extent to control the railroads and
secure to some degree our rights.
Therefore we urg ge you as you value
your rights and homes to cast your
lot in with US and to talk the matter
over with your neighbor and to be at
our next meeting to aid US by your
presence, counsel and means to wrench
from the grasping companies at least a
part of that which is justly ours. 1t is
a plain fact that the railroads are to- day
violating the Interstate law and that
they will continue not only to disregard
the law but also our rights just as long
as we will submit to the outrage.
This is in the right direction. If the
people expect to do anything with law
they must attend to its enforcement.

To the Ballot Box, Farmers!

The rascals of the country are mum
erous and active, and seemingly al
times almost resistless. 1t is an i'm
mense work for the people to keep out
of their clutches. On every hand, they
are combining to extort from us and to
steal from US. Yet we are strong enough
to down them all. if we will join hands
and do it But the ballot box is the
weapon, and the active, energetic peo
pie of the nation, OF sound patriotism
and proper impulse, must make use oil
it. That weapon is at hand. 1t can be
used at once and the longer We delay
using it, and spend time and effort in
othor directions, the further off we put
reform and the tighter we rivet upon
ourselves the chains which avarice is
cons family forging

Sailing Cow 8.

See that your COWS have salt, all they
want and when they want it. Do not
be content with sailing them once or
twice a week by throwing handfuls Of
salt on the ground for them to lick.
Keep salt under cover, in some con.
veniently accessible place for them to
lick whenever they want it. This will
prevent the bullies from eating toe
much when salt hungry, and the weak.
er ones from being deprived Of a due
proportion. Properly sailing COWS keeps
them in better health, and often saves
trouble in churning.

How to Handle Milk.
BY T. D. CURTIS.

Cleanliness in the dairy is not onl,
important, but absolutely necessary t.
the achievement of the best results
This is true at any season of the year
but never more so than in hot weather
"Dog days" will soon be upon US. anc
it behooves dairymen to look we'll tc
their surroundings and see that all ref.
use and decaying matter about theil
stables, barnyards, milking sheds, dairy
houses, pig-pens, cess.pools, and even
in their pastures where the COWS run
are removed or rendered innocuous by
the application of deodorizers and an.
tiseptics. All accumulations of waste
matters are hot-beds for the propaga-
tion of fungi, bacteria, and other forms
of microscopic life. These invisible
germs rise and float in the atmosphere
by the millions, are inhaled by men
and animals, and settle everywhere that
they can find lodgment. Many of the
odors around barnyards, stables, and
other places, where there is fermenting
and decaying matter, are the result of
invisible microbes that offend the sense
of smell, as we'll as of foul gases.
Milk drawn in a foul atmosphere
will be impregnated with the spores of
decay that render the atmosphere foul,
and it will also absorb the gases set free
by fermentation and decay. Much of
the trouble of the dairyman is due
to these causes. which he does not sus.
pect, because perhaps he is ignorant of
their existence. They cause rapid
souring and decomposition of milk, and
continue their action in the butter and
cheese made from it, inJuring their
quality and causing them to soon go off
flavor and start on the downward road
to destruction 1t stands to reason that
such products can not be wholesome
food. One of the main causes for such
a large per cent of poor dairy goods
appearing in this market may be traced
to the neglect Of dairymen to do their
milking In an atmosphere free from the
floating germs of fermenting and decay
ing matter, Subsequent bad handling
OF both milk and product accounts for
the rest.
FOR BUTTER MAKING,
the milk should be set as soon as pos
sible, after being drawn from the COW.
The less the agitation, the less the ex-
posure to the atmosphere, and higher
the temperature, the better. High
scalding IS Objectionable. 1t destroys
germs of decay and improves the keep.

NO. Al.
Two Dairy Troubles.

A correspondent of Scottish ag-
ricultural paper puts forth an en-
phatic claim of success for his pre-
ventine Of milk fever. The Amer
acan Dalrynaam summarizes his sim
pie practice and suggests possible
reason for it: ''After parturition the
womb and contiguous parts are nat
urally in an i1flamed condition
and sudden removal of the milk
causes the upper portion of the I'D
der to become chilled which he at
tributes as the cause of the disease.
His practice was to allow the cow to
calve wherever she happened to be,
and then allow the calf to remain
with her and never interfere wi tn.
them for three days. Before prac-
ticing this method, and drawing the
udder clean after calving, he lost a
great many COWS with milk fever.
When he finds it necessary to take
the calves from the dams when first
dropped he draws about ons fourth of
the cows milk and keeps the udder
generally in that condition, not reliev.
ing it of all the milk until after the
third day. There is this to be said in
favor of the non-milking theory, that
it is probably the great strain of milk
giving on the system that produces or
causes the fever, and of course the
more thoroughly the milk is drawn the
more decided is the demand on the
system for more milk
The same paper urges for caked I'D
der (and black eye) use of water, not
cold but hot as the COW or your hand
can bear: "Have boy going back
and forth with pals of hot water, one
at time, and so keep the water which
you are using constantly getting lit
tie hotter. What is the philosophy of
this treatment? The udder, skin and
all vascular parts ofthe system are full
of absorbent vessels which act with
great energy when hot. If somebody
hits you accidentally on or near the
eye and it begins to feel hot, look red
and swell and you put cold water on it
you will have Black eye for week
or ten days, and no end of soEcitious
friends; but if you get some warm wat
er and bathe it, then make it hotter
and use compress, then hotter yet as
you are able to bear it, and treat it in
this way for half an hour to half day
according to the severity of the blow
and the amount of extravasated blood,
you can face the world next day with
clear conscience or at least clear
eye. Faithful work with caked I'd
der has just the same effect; swelling is
reduced, inflammation allayed, and this
should be done three or four times a
day and each time the udder rubbed
thoroughly dry and then we'll creased
to prevent taking cold. The cow. of
course, must be in warm, well-bedded
stall for nothing is worse for sensi-
tive udder than contact with a cold,
wet floor"

THE OPPOSITION TO THE EXTENSION OF NORTH CAPT.
ToL STREET.-THE LEGAL QUESTIONS INVOLVED.
Mr.. John L. yogt, one OF the trustees OF the
Prospect Hill Cemetery. Who oppose the proposed
extension OF North Capitol street through the
grounds said to STAR reporter last evening that
the cemetery was established by the German
Beneficial Society OF the Concordia church. They
first bought a site for the cemetery for which
they found they could not get good title, and
then bought the present cemetery grounds,
containing aDOut IL acres, from Mr.. Moore. The
company WAS chartered for cemetery purposes,
and 1.-THE little German cemetery" as IL has been
called, now contains about 1000 bodies. char
ter, Mr.. vOgt said, was procured from Congress,
and IL clearly set forth that the ground 10 be
used for burial purposes, and IL has since been 50
used. ''When we bought ground there" Mr.. Vogt

Ice I'm the Potomac.

OYSTER MEN RAISE THEIR PRICES IN ANTICIPATION
OF BLOCKADE.
The present cold snap has greatly changedt the ap-
pearance of things about the river 'front.' This morn
ing the channel runs between two banks OF ice,
which had TO be broken TO allow the boats TO get
10 and from the wharves. The ice at Stephensons
wharf this morning measured inch in thickness,
ana would in some places bear weight OF person.
ON account OF the heavy winds blowing down the
river, the tug-bOatS have reaped a harvest towing
oyster boats TO the city. This morning there were
about forty oyster sloops and pungies at the 18th
street wharf and IN the stream, but very few OF
them we're selling their cargOeS, and those who
did sell obtained increased prices. Most OF the
oyster men here with vessel loads or biyalves are
looking forward 10 an ice blockade and are holding
their stock Tor higher prices.

The Other Side Of the Crowded Car
Question.

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
In Wednesdays issue you published, with ap-
parent approval, clipping from the New York
Tribune, arguing that street-car companies ought
to be required TO provide seat for every passen-
ger and to allow no one to enter a car In which all
seats are occupied Public attention has so often
been called to the arguments In favor OF these
propositions that hope love Of far play will in
Guce You 10 give a little space 10 the other side.
IL will probably surprise many OF your readers to
hear that the street-car companies OF Washington
run enough cars In the course OF year, 70 pro
such Is nevertheless the fact. They cannot how
ever, give everyone who wishes TO ride, a seat in
the nrst car which comes along. Ii passengers
would wait as they are REQUIRED to do i'm foreign
countries, until car should come along with
vacant seats, everyone could be accommodated;
but our people are not willing 10 walt, and the
suit Is the occasional crowding OF cars. The COM
paTiSon with foreign cities Is deluSive on account
OF the different condition OF things. In Paris, Tor
Instance, where the rule against overcrowding is
most rigidly enforced no one ever knows how long
he may be required TO watt and no one thinks OF
relying on street-car, at any intermediate point,
for conveyance to a train or any engagement re-
quiring punctuality. In such cases cabs are
always used, and, on account OF this constant
But our people do rely ON street cars 10 convey
them with regularity and punctuality, and as a
consequence cheap and numerous cabs have never
been possibility with us. A passenger going 10
train, or theater, or q business engagement
takes car which will reach his destination at the
proper time: II the car happens TO be full he SUBJ
EitS 10 the inconvenience OF standing rather than
miss his engagement, and as u general rule he
does II cheerIuliy; but his temper would be any
thing but cheerful II he should be refused the priv
tiege OF riding without seat, and thus compelled
10 pay high price for carriage or perhaps to fail
altogether 20 meet his appointment. IL does not
help the matter 10 say that the companies should
be required To run enough cars TO furnish every
one with a seat at any moment on any point OF the
line. This is something which is not done in Paris
or anywhere else, something which Is practically
impossible. The street cars in this city probably
run as close together in any city OF the world Of
the same populations; certainly as close together
as they do IN Paris. In New York. where the CARS
are as numerous on some OF the lines il is pos
S0e to have them without absolutely blOckadiDg
the street, IL would be impossible TO accommodate
the public at certain hours OF the day without per-
hitting crowding. Street cars do not furnish an
ideal method OF conveyance. Those VINO use them
now are compelled TO submit to Inconvenience, but
with the changes proposed the Inconvenience
would be increased many fold. j, C. w
